I'm seeking suggestions, recommendations, general comments for a confused ole man. All comments will be welcomed.
I'm not a mechanic by any stretchhhhh of the imagination. Yet, after retirement some years ago I've developed an interest in tinkering with 40's and 50's tractors; have enjoyed most of it and have learned lots. Much more to learn.
Am I now ready to get into the engines, or should I leave that to Ralph Brinkley and sons? I broke down the C-60 in my first cub, to unstick the engine and learn a bit; then took the whole shooting match to Ralph to put back together with new parts as needed. He did a fine job.
I have another cub I'm itching to get into the engine to see if I can do a decent job with rebuilding; but a C-113 engine is priority one. At the same time, I'm wondering if rebuilding an engine is more than a retired ole accountant who enjoys getting his hands greasy should get into? Yep, I can identify most of the parts and know the "job" of most of them. The end of my engine knowledge?
Anyone care to share some thoughts, warnings, encouragement, discouragement?
